    It looks like Idaho is going to be good to you! That's awesome! Man that place was just covered in agate! You walked by, and picked up next to, some big agates! I'm screaming at the TV! Lol! But you found some really beautiful agates, and everywhere you looked, there was so many more! It was incredible! Woohoo!🎉 Welcome to Idaho! This is going to be exciting! Congrats on the move too! ❤ Thanks!

    Welcome to Idaho! Thought you would be too busy unpacking? Lol...Beautiful chalcedony, Agates, & Jasper finds! Love the crystals as well! Jackpot!... I'm going to have to hit the area next time I'm in Idaho.

    One of the rocks you looked at(16:27), when it was cut, looked like a scene with a polar bear. My favorite one!

    We drove up there just a few weeks ago from Spanish Fork, but were west of Boise, closer to the Owyhee mountains. It's so crazy the difference in the agate you found vs what we found! My boy and I were expecting water-level banding like Idaho is famous for, yet all of the material we collected was very much a plume pattern agate with great variety in color. And quite a bit of petrified wood that was colorful and agatized as well. Crazy how the geology can change just a few valleys over! Great video, thanks!

      I do need to get over there some time and get some of that plume agate. I just love how much variety is out there!

    Amazing finds! Looks like I need to take a trip to Idaho. The agates you found reminded me of the ones you found at Hop Creek.

    You must me new. Do your kids a favor and keep your spots in a tight circle or one day there won’t be a single spot left to take them. There’s a reason why your able to do what your doing. Keep your spots to your friends and family!

      Actually I have been rockhounding for 20 years now. Many rockhounding locations that have been well known and published in books for decades still have plenty of material left. It is true that some places have been heavily overrun over the years, but even those locations still have material (at least where I have been). I believe that this world is meant to be enjoyed by everyone. While it is true some people will make bad choices, most people are good people and I want to help be of service to them.
